Chapter 462: Thinking about entertainment
The flower viewing banquet, which started because of my desire to make a cherry blossom tree, lasted all throughout the night, and the next morning, there were people all over the place who were down with hangovers.
this is a tragedy. Theres corpses everywhere.
Yes, in a place with little daily entertainment, this was a magnificent cherry blossom viewing. It couldnt be helped that they acted without restraint.
Sophia and I observed the people inside the garden and the people who partied outside of outside the garden who were lying on the ground having drank themselves unconscious.
The Sanctuary has all sorts of musical instruments, and it can be enjoyed in the concert hall. Thats why I think its better than the outside world, but even then, everyone was still excited about the new thing known as an Ohanami.
Still, it was definitely fun.
Right. But gazing at the cherry blossoms like this is also nice.
Here, I brought us some tea~.
I baked some cookies to go with the tea.
Thank you Maria, Marnie.
As I was sitting absentmindedly on a char by the table underneath the cherry blossom tree, Maria and Marnie came with tea and snacks.
Fuu~ they really is so beautiful, these cherry blossoms.
Yeah, though these are also nice when flowers start falling.
I would love to see the falling petals dance with the wind.
The growth of this cherry blossom tree can be controlled by the will of Dryas and the Sakura Spirits. Thats why it was possible for them to bloom multiple times in a year just like in the Sanctuarys orchard. However, as a result of our discussion, we decided it would only happen once a year.
After all, the cherry blossoms can be appreciated more if its once a year.
Should we have a bit more entertainment?
hmmm, I wonder.
I think that our sports should be to fight while following the rules and not killing each other.
Sophia told me that fighting tournaments existed, but the fighting tournament conducted in Triaria Kingdom was using gladiator slaves to fight to the death. It wasnt just man versus man, bouts could also be set to be man versus monster, and the country profits from it by being the bookmaker for the bets.
It seems a portion of it goes towards the expenditures towards their wars with other countries.
As expected of Triaria Kingdom. Its more barbaric of a country than I imagined.
But martial arts wasnt suitable for the Sanctuary.
I think it would be interesting to have everyone in the Sanctuary participate in a sports day.
A sports day?
Marnie was once again puzzled by the unfamiliar words, tilting her head.
Yup, dont you think it would be interesting to have games for the fleet-footed people, make a rope for tug of war, hang a basket high up and compete how many balls they could shoot into it, and games that anyone could participate in?
That sounds nice. I think the children would also enjoy that.
In any case, should we hold sports day in the fall?
The harvest festival is in fall too. Would summer not work?
Hmm~ It might be troublesome to move around so much in the heat if its summer. Autumn might be best.
The climate in the Sanctuary isnt too cold in the winter, and summers arent as humid as in Japan so its more bearable. But the temperature is too high to have the Sports Day.
So, so, wouldnt it be better if we have new events for summer and winter too then?!
Youre right. If its limited to the Sanctuary, and since people arent struggling to survive here, it might be nice to have those kinds of events to have some competition in their lives.
As I watched the wasted adults sleeping on the ground and I thought this would be a nice thin to have once in a while, I enjoyed drinking tea while talking to my dear wives about new events.
